Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs

1/2 cup cottage cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp butter or oil for the pan

Optional add-ins: chopped spinach, tomatoes, scallions, shredded cheese, or hot sauce


Instructions

1. Crack eggs into a bowl, add cottage cheese, and whisk together until well combined.

2. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

3. Pour egg mixture into the pan and let cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds.

4. Gently stir and fold the eggs until just set and creamy, about 2–3 minutes.
